(Harrisburg) -- Dauphin County’s coroner is warning a potentially deadly drug cocktail could be spreading across the midstate.

Graham Hetrick says he wouldn't call it a trend, but he’s seen some evidence that heroin laced with the powerful painkiller fentanyl is being sold on the street in Dauphin County and other parts of the region.
